API Rate Limiter

https://bitbucket.org/chomnoue/api-rate-limiter/src/master/
To avoid performance issues and reduce costs, the API rate limiter allows a company to avoid too many calls to a given API.

The limits are configurable, and the rate limiter should throttle AIP calls in the following situations:
1. Too many requests within the same time window from a client
2. Too many requests from a specific client on a per month basis
3. Too many requests across the entire system

The application is built to run in a distributed environment and has been designed to scale effectively.

NPS Score from Social Media

A serverless API that collects tweeter posts tagging targeted companies, runs a sentimental analysis on them, and computes their NPS (see Medallia.com/net-promoter-score/#). It runs on AWS, involving cloud services like Lambda, Firehose, S3, DynamoDB, Comprehend, and the NPS score for telcos (Social-nps.herokuapp.com/dashboard). On top of that, I built a dashboard with Python and the Bokeh library and deployed it on Heroku to display the computed NPS scores.

Ebola Data Visualization

http://chomnoue.github.io/EbolaDataVisualizationND/
This visualization shows the evolution of Ebola cases in West Africa from August 2014 to May 2015, as reported by the WHO.

The user can select an indicator and a date to see the status on the map. He can also choose to replay the animation for the chosen indicator.

I chose to show the affected country on a map with the orange color differentiating them. Only the affected countries are named to let the user focus on them.

A red circle is used to show the value of an indicator for each country. I chose a logarithmic scale for the circle radiuses so that with just a few cases, countries' values can be seen on the map.
